I love how easy this recipe comes together and I think we can all agree that crispy fries are the perfect vessel for a Greek flavor explosion! Anything that doesn’t get used up in this recipe goes straight into my new @getlomi Bloom Deep Teal – talk about the colour of 🇬🇷Greece 🇬🇷 !!

Lomi takes care of all my food scraps (and some unsightly leftovers) and turns them into nutrient-rich plant food all at the push of a button. This saves my food waste from landfill and reduces my carbon footprint by 127%. What’s cool about @GetLomi is that it’ll save you money, time and mess.

Gyro is meat traditionally cooked on a vertical rotisserie (or in our case an Amazon pan 😂), then sliced and served wrapped or stuffed in pita bread or pita gyro bowls along with other ingredients such as tomato, onion, fried potatoes, and tzatziki. In Greece, my family normally enjoys Gyro meat with either beef, lamb, or chicken! It’s the perfect protein to have in the fridge all week. I like pairing it with fluffy rice, my viral pita and a Greek salad! Don’t be afraid of the spice selection, I promise you it’s incredible and a combo you’re sure to enjoy!

Greeks take deep pride in their food. One thing most people don’t realize though is that what we eat is often super simple! This marinade is the perfect example of that. It’s loaded with fresh herbs and has a little pop of creaminess with the Greek yogurt. It’s simple, it’s healthy, and it’s something to have in your back pocket when you want to jazz up your fish. Try this next time you have a piece of fresh cod, halibut, salmon or trout (any fish works — even shrimp!) It will take the eating experience to a whole other level. You can even try it on a whole fish, just stuff it with the marinade and top with fresh lemon and lots of salt! Greeks love eating fish with fresh salads, warm greens, homemade bread, olives and lemon! You probably can’t just pick up and fly to Greece right now so let’s recreate Greek Fish in the comfort of your own home!

In Episode 4 of All Things Greek, I showed you how to make my Thea’s secret ingredient Greek Lemon Potatoes, well I am back to show you how to elevate this dish on a bed of Whipped Greek Yoghurt. One thing about me is that I used to suffer from acne, like awful. And it wasn’t until I started changing the products I was using, the people I surrounded myself with and regulating my nervous system that I finally started to see some big changes. I received a @korres press package while I was away in Greece, of all places and now I am hooked. So hooked that I asked them for a discount code for ALL OF US!! AND IT’S VALID FOR A WHOLE YEAR!!!!!
